BOSTON, MASS. – The Fisher College Men's Basketball team suffered a tough 82-71 loss this evening in Association of Independent Institutions Conference action inside the Windsor Gymnasium. The loss sets the Falcons back to an overall record of 14-9 while the Shock improve to 17-6.

It was a close game late in the second half as the Falcons almost erased an 11-point deficit as they climbed with a point at 63-62 with 6:33 remaining. However, a late run by the Shock was just enough to seal the victory.

Senior Jhalen Lumpkins (Sacramento, Calif.) led the way for Fisher as he finished with a team-high 17 points scored and classmate Nicolas Gonzalez (Madrid, Spain) chipped in 15 points off the bench. Two other Falcons finished with double figures as junior Kyle Williams (Fairfield, Calif.) and Jason Augliera (Discovery Bay, Calif.) added 12 and 11 points, respectively, in the loss.

WAU was guided by the 32-point effort from senior Xavier Sewell (Germantown, Md.), who finished 11-of-16 shooting from the field. Junior Mastadi Pratt (Hampton, Va.) added 18 points and senior Elijah Maynard (Teaneck, N.J.) collected the team-high of nine rebounds.

Fisher will have some time to recover as they are slated to return to action on Friday evening with a home date against Bryant & Stratton College – Rochester. Game time is set for 7pm at the Fecteau-Leary Gymnasium in Lynn, Mass. Washington Adventist will have a quick turnaround as they travel to Christendom College on Monday night. Tip-off is scheduled for 7pm.
